The TDNNS method for Reissner–Mindlin plates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new family of locking-free finite elements for shear deformable Reissner-Mindlin plates is presented. The elements are based on the "tangential-displacement normal-normal-stress" formulation of elasticity. In this formulation, the bending moments are treated as separate unknowns. The degrees of freedom for the plate element are the nodal values of the deflection, tangential components of the rotations and normal-normal components of the bending strain. Contrary to other plate bending elements, no special treatment for the shear term such as reduced integration is necessary. The elements attain an optimal order of convergence.

A Finite Volume Formulation for the Elasto-Plastic Analysis of Rectangular Mindlin-Reissner Plates, a Non-Layered Approach
This paper extends the previous work of authors and presents a non-layered Finite Volume formulation for the elasto-plastic analysis of Mindlin-Reissner plates. The incremental algorithm of the elasto-plastic solution procedure is shown in detail. The performance of the formulation is examined by analyzing of plates with different boundary conditions and loading types. The results are illustrat...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin elements for Reissner-Mindlin plates
We present an overview of some families of locking-free elements for Reissner-Mindlin plates recently introduced and analyzed in [2] and [1]. They are all based on the ideas of discontinuous Galerkin approach, and they vary in the amount of interelement continuity required.
متن کاملNumerical Approximation of Mindlin - Reissner Plates
We consider a finite element approximation of the so-called Mindlin-Reissner formulation for moderately thick elastic plates. We show that stability and optimal error bounds hold independently of the value of the thickness.
متن کاملA Superconvergent Finite Element Scheme for the Reissner-mindlin Plate by Projection Methods
The Reissner-Mindlin model is frequently used by engineers for plates and shells of small to moderate thickness. This model is well known for its “locking” phenomenon so that many numerical approximations behave poorly when the thickness parameter tends to zero. Following the formulation derived by Brezzi and Fortin, we construct a new finite element scheme for the Reissner-Mindlin model using ...
